This is York, England. A busy city with a well-used ring road that sees traffic all year round. The York outer ring road dualling scheme with planning permission submitted by City of York Council will see most of the remaining parts of Royal Air Force Clifton removed.

The Clifton Airfield was originally built in 1936 as a civilian venture, until the outbreak of war in September 1939 where it was taken over by the Royal Air Force.

Accommodation for 500 personnel and three large concrete runways suitable for heavy bombers were built enabling the Handley Page Halifax to operate here from 1941.

A Luftwaffe airstrike in 1942 badly damaged the airfield in 1942 which will be covered further in another video.

The purpose of this video is to show you what remains are under threat due to the road widening works due imminently, where some or all the remains North of the York Ring Road will be removed.
